Ethics Day encourages seniors to determine their own ethical framework and equips them with decision-making tools they can use in life after high school when confronting ethical dilemmas.  Speakers present situations in three different sessions and as a volunteer you only encourage dialog among the seniors in small-group table discussions.  It really is amazing to watch the young adults articulate their positions and collaborate with each other, a heart-warming snapshot of teens at Langley.

Did You Know....

Susan Krauss Whitbourne, Ph.D with Psychology Today writes, “Although memory is usually thought of as applying to past events, a variant called “prospective memory" (PM) applies to future actions. Your mind may shoot backward when you try to recall whether you actually turned the lights off before you left your home for the day. However, it also shoots forward prior to leaving your home as you make the vow to hit the off switch before your foot crosses the threshold. Here are 3 key ways to remembering your intentions.

Langley Pyramid Rise Against Hunger Event

GovDelivery2 months 3 weeks ago

Having trouble viewing this email? View it as a Web page.

Dear Langley High School families,

We wanted to encourage you to sign up to volunteer and donate for our annual Langley Pyramid Rise Against Hunger event! This is a wonderful Langley pyramid tradition, and we want to make sure our families can participate. As many of you remember, we held our last Rise Against Hunger event in February 2020. This event was a huge success and provide a wonderful service learning opportunity for children and adults of all ages.

On Saturday, February 4, 2023, families in the Langley Pyramid are joining together again this year to help children in need. In partnership with Rise Against Hunger, the Langley pyramid elementary, middle, and high schools are coming together with a goal to prepare 83,000 meal packages for schools and orphanages around the world.

Donate and help raise money for the event:

Elementary and Middle School students may donate in school January 3-20. High school students should donate directly online. Our goal will be reached if every child donated $5.00.

Each meal costs only 42 cents to make. For just $15, you can donate over 35 meals; $30 will make over 70 meals and $100 will make nearly 280 meals. You may make your tax-deductible donation today at: https://rah.secure.force.com/events/homepage?id=7013Z000002KxzLQAS. When rehydrated, each meal package feeds 5-6 people.  Throughout our efforts, our students will understand how their family’s contribution will help impact nearly 500,000 people.

In order to reach our goal of 83,000 meals, the Langley Pyramid needs to raise $35,000 by January 27th.  If your company makes matching contributions, please consider having them join you in making a tax-deductible donation today at: https://rah.secure.force.com/events/homepage?id=7013Z000002KxzLQAS and help us Rise Against Hunger

Volunteer for the event: (Sign up opens January 3rd!!!)

Register to volunteer for the event at:

Langley HS https://www.signupgenius.com/go/30e0c45aba62fa1fc1-langley#/

Enter your Last Name and Enter "Quantity" as the number of volunteers attending.  If for any reason you need to cancel, please cancel through the Sign-up Genius to make those slots available to other Langley pyramid families. Being a popular Langley pyramid event, please sign up as volunteer slots will fill up quickly.  Children ages 4-12 must be accompanied by an adult. On the day of the event, volunteers package meals based on the amount of money raised, so it is recommended that if you wish to volunteer for the event, please make a monetary donation.   

We package meals based on the amount of money raised and our Langley pyramid goal is $35,000 which provides 83,000 meals.  With each meal feeding 5-6 people, this is a wonderful event that impacts over 400,000 individuals around the world and broadens the perspective of our students and families.

Sincerely,

Ho Ho Ho Saxons,

The holiday spirit has infiltrated Saxon Country. Cookies, crepes, cupcakes and other confectionary delights have been plentiful this week throughout the school. Our students are starting the holiday break on sugar overload. I know the upcoming days will be filled with plates overflowing with seasonal delights. Let’s indulge in the splendor of celebrating our amazing kids!


The Madrigals annual Renaissance Feaste was a magical event!


Congratulations to Langley dance on winning First Place Pom in competition!


Langley Golf’s state championship win was recognized by the FCPS School Board last evening. We are so proud of our team!


Thanks to our band, choir and orchestra programs for serenading Saxon Country with the sounds of the season. Their concerts were amazing and today’s Langley Links performances were outstanding. Orchestra had the audience moving and grooving to the sounds of Abba. Check out the selection.


A huge shoutout to the Madrigals who stopped by my office today to share a holiday selection with me.

It is truly our hope the two week break will provide everyone an opportunity to slow down and enjoy time off. Therefore, school offices will be closed December 19-January 2. Also, we want students to be able to enjoy the days away from school. To assist with this, no assignments should be due, or assessments given, until January 5.

I wish each of you a blessed holiday season. May each of you experience the light and love which abounds during this time. May 2023 bring you much happiness, prosperity and joy!

Fondly,

Did You Know...

Caroline Miller from Child Mind Institute writes, “Why are holidays so fraught? Because expectations are heightened, and holidays can feel like a test of how happy and successful your family is.” Here are some tips to minimize holiday stress.

11th Grade Wellness Screening- December 6, 2022  (11th Grade Parents Only)

Mental health problems can develop in adolescence which is full of emotions for teens. Some of these emotions are actually mental illnesses. Depression is among the most common mental illnesses. Depression is treatable; however, it is a leading risk factor for suicide. To proactively address mental illness, Langley High School is providing a mental wellness screening and suicide prevention training as part of the SOS Signs of Suicide Prevention Program.  11th grade parents received an email on November 4th with details regarding this screening and an opt-out link should they wish to do so.  Please contact Tim Ready, school counselor, at [email protected] with any questions.

Curriculum Night- Save the Date!  (Tuesday, January 10, 2023)

Please plan on joining us in the new year on Tuesday 1/10 as we return to an in-person Curriculum Night.  All materials will be provided via video prior to the event and we encourage you to review this prior to coming to the evening.  The event is an opportunity to ask our faculty questions about specific core curricular programs so that you can make informed choices about course registration for the 2023-24 school year.
